Even in the unlikely event that Nashville were to lose out on the 2019 NFL Draft, it would be in prime positon to then host the 2020 Draft. But 2019 in Nashville is looking increasingly likely, per league sources.

For now, it's likely onto Nashville. According to the Tennessean, "the city's sales pitch includes the potential use of multiple venues, from Nissan Stadium to Music City Center to the Grand Ole Opry, from Ryman Auditorium to Broadway to Ascend Amphitheater."

I've been hearing info leading to this as well. NFL wants draft to take on personality of the city hosting it. Nashville would be a great fit in that realm. Perfect follow-up from big-show Dallas to big-party Nashville. https://t.co/MKAOd2aSzf

"Wow! I am just blown away by this. And you know what, Mike?" Strunk said to Mike Keith, the emcee of the event, per the Tennessean. "I think Nashville needs to host the NFL Draft! What do you think?"

According to the Tennessean, "the throng erupted in cheers." The Titans fans who are passionate enough to show up to a uniform unveiling will probably be excited by the idea of Nashville serving as the host city for the draft. For everyone else who lives in Nashville but doesn't care about the NFL and/or the draft ... good luck.
